I have been asked several times why isn’t Mexico doing anything…

Here is how the chamber of commerce president of Acuña explained it to me: No one going through Mexico has ANY intention of staying— Migrants are just passing through… 1/3
2/3… The Mexican government is angry that all of this falls on them because people are in pursuit of the American Dream. The chamber of commerce president of Acuña tells me at one point, the city had thousands of people in a park after the U.S. closed the crossing…
3/3… He tells me when migrants hoping to get into the U.S. learned they faced deportation— 3,000+ migrants, mostly Haitians streamed into the city and took shelter in homes, disrupting Acuña for days because they wanted to get across and thought they could wait it out. #DelRio
4/3: With the International Bridge closed per the US government — The chamber president says the city of Acuña suffered more than $500,000 in losses/day as people could not cross.

I asked abt the economic impact to #DelRio —there may have been a small one, but nothing major yet

…And they use the photos at the center of an investigation that has further divided our nation— but no one sees this:

It’s worth noting the video proving no contact was made with split reins was put out by @StorytellerSBM of @AP

My source in Mexico says these immigrants developed a method tethering a rope to travel across the Rio Grande— Law enforcement say it’s the same group of individuals that have been at the International bridge— they’re walking around because the weir dam (old crossing) is closed.
My source says they are going into Mexico to get provisions and coming back to the U.S. using a tethered rope as a guide across the Rio.
My source says the park on the Mexico side is gated off- they are jumping over the fence. There are hundreds of people there.

We know buses transporting immigrants are stopped in Acuña (Mexico side)— this is likely a combo of those people & ones that have already been in the US Image
